3Fuel meter
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear to-
wards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the last segment
starts flashing, refuel as soon as possi-
ble. When the key is turned to “ON”, all
of the display segments of the fuel
meter will appear one after the other
and then disappear in order to test the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, all the display segmentswill start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, all of the dis-
play segments of the coolant tempera-
ture meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The coolant
temperature varies with changes in the
weather and engine load. If the top seg-
ment flashes, stop the vehicle and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-32.)
CAUTION:
ECA10020
Do not operate the engine if it isoverheated.
Transmission gear display
This display shows the selected gear.
The neutral position, however, is not
displayed, it is indicated by the neutral
indicator light.

NOTE:

The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.


Hydraulic brake and clutch service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake and clutch fluid levels.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers as well as clutch master
and release cylinders, and change the brake and clutch fluids.Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU39511
To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition,
the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.NOTE:

The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.


Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
NOTE:The coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
reservoir cap.4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, install the coolant res-
ervoir cap.
CAUTION:
ECA10471


If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.


If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-

6 Engine overheating
WARNING
EWAT1040


Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.


Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the capwhile turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
NOTE:If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolantas soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.

leakage.
There is
no leakage.
